Anyone else notice that sometimes, not always, it’s impossible to change default weather settings to a preset? Sometimes works fine, others I get a frozen screen that says “window out of focus” it not the end of the world but a pain in the butt

Apologies for my impatience in advance but do we know when the stable/release version will be available? <drooling>

Heck no!! I talk about it all the time!! Then people want to try it and are like damn...now I get why you talk about it all the time

My point is more based on the chance of flying remote aircraft commercially perhaps. I did reference in my original post the clear difference bewtweennthevreal thing and sims. It was more to allude to “virtual pilot” persay. Personally I’ll never call myself a pilot unless I’m licensed as one. The thought came to me cause I referenced “flying” when meaning DCS without even noticing. And so did the wife and she couldn’t care less about real or fake lol

Is it usually only a "couple of weeks" for updates to roll out for Stable? I'm fine with that too

I’m new to DCS and developing an addiction but that’s another issue. I’m curious as to why someone would choose dcs world 2.5 over open beta 2.7 and vice versa. Pros and cons. Also can you run both instances on the same cpu? Also, typically how long before beta updates/version changes roll out to world?

This maybe remedial but is there a way to link the 10 key portion of keyboard to the UFC? Even tho I play in VR, I know the tactile feel of 10 key pad. I thought if theres a way to link them I can have it next to mouse and type in numbers faster than clicking with mouse or look and click

Just something I wondered the other day.. With the increasing realism in most aspects of new flight sims like DCS and FS2020 etc and numerous real pilots on record stating things like, "It's only missing the feel and fear of death" or "DCS is better than any simulator we had in the service to train on" and the like, my thought was how long or is it possible to consider yourself a "pilot"? I mean, there are people with 1000's even 10's of thousands of DCS hours, that could certainly jump in a real aircraft and operate with proficiency (yes, except for the physical and fear of death) We have many service members who are strike drone or remote pilots. Are they considered pilots because they are remote really flying an aircraft? I know for me personally, it wasn't even a thought but it came out the other day when the wife asked, "are you going flying tonight?" and she meant in my Hornet on DCS. I catch myself saying , "I need to go fly tonight to chill out and clear my mind" Yes, I have flown aircraft in real life, only about 10 hours in a Cessna, so I'm NOT a pilot, but it just made me wonder. Will there be someday a designation or examination of sorts that would qualify someone as say "Licensed Virtual Pilot"? I dunno... Its probably not super important but just a thought especially as technology pursues, there will undoubtedly be more and more remote aircraft in the air and it would be a waste if the 1000's of hours flying the "almost the real thing" virtual couldn't be validated and open oppourtunities to VR and sim enthusiasts for potential job opportunities down the road doing something they always wanted to do but maybe couldn't afford in real life (ask me how I know) Would love your thoughts and discussions
